The year is 2247 and Jack Deth is a cop in Angel City, what used to be Los Angeles. Jack and the police force have managed to foil a plan by Martin Whistler to take over the city. Whistler was thought dead, but escaped back in time to 1985. Whistler is a powerful psychic that has the ability to 'trance' people and make them his zombie-slaves. Whistler's plan is to kill the ancestors of the City Council, so they can no longer stand in his way of taking over the city. Deth finds his hideout and follows Whistler back in time. When they travel back in time they assume control of one of their ancestors. Whistler's ancestor is a policedetective and he starts trancing people to help accomplish his evil plan. Deth must stop Whistler from killing Hap Ashby, a former baseball pitcher. Deth gets some help from a punk rock girl named Leena.
